Slate V show us what they think would happen if Quinten Tarantino (Kill Bill), David Lynch (Mullholand Drive), Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums), Jean-Luc Godard (Á bout de souffle), or Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo); directed the Super Bowl…

This film features a series of “macro” shots of familiar subjects.

It was made by clemento, a vimeo user, who added the following description:

I recently bought me the MP-E 65mm and played with it a little bit. It’s a very special lens and you need a little bit of patience, but the results are breathtaking.

I’m looking forward to new adventures in the macro universe..

As augmented reality becomes the next big thing in social technology evolution, artist Keiichi Matsuda made this short film on the subject.

Here’s the author’s description of the film:

A film produced for my final year Masters in Architecture, part of a larger project about the social and architectural consequences of new media and augmented reality.

It seems that augmented reality has become, well a reality, as there are already games and software based on it. Below, an example of an augmented reality app for Android, called Shop Savvy. The app uses the smartphone’s camera to recognize products from real life, and after rendering the image, it offers the user all kind of info about the product, like it’s price, nearest place to buy it, reviews, etc. It’s really stunning…

Finally, here’s the short film…

Logorama is a short film by French collective H5, it’s made entirely out of commercial logos.

In a ‘brand new’ world, Ronald Macdonald is a psycho killer, chased by the police (embodied by Michelin’s fat man), meanwhile an earthquake destroys the logo world.

They did a really good job, it won the Kodak Prix at Cannes. The trailer, below:
